saltiness

 The quantity of salts/salt content (sodium, potassium, silver salts, etc.) in sea water. Salinity plays an important role in the distribution and dynamics of water masses. In particular, it is a factor that affects downwelling of water to the ocean depths: highly saline water is more dense and therefore has a greater tendency to descend towards th [..]

The amount of dissolved salt in the water. Salinity is important because it controls what type of plants can grow, or what types of animals can exist, in a given area. Salt marsh for example grows in water closest to Gulf waters with a high salinity, brackish marsh in the next landward zone followed by fresh marsh and swamps. If the salinity in an [..]
